Answers
Answer:
A committee set up under the Food Safety and Standards Authority has in consultation with National Institute of Nutrition, after a detailed review decided the limits of TFAs in edible oils, which will be notified within the next couple of months. Earlier, the Prime Minister's Office had directed that norms for TFAs be laid down by December 2009.
Official sources said that manufacturers of edible oils and vanaspati will be given some time to conform to the proposed changes in their products, once the notification comes into effect. A detailed review of the impact will be carried out after three years to decide whether further reduction may be attempted.
Industrially produced trans fats are formed during partial hydrogenation, a process used by the vanaspati industry to harden and stabilize liquid vegetable oils.
